PET/MRI scan for prostate cancer staging before surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special PET/MRI scan can better see the extent of prostate cancer before surgery. It aims to help doctors plan more precise treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have been diagnosed with high-grade prostate cancer and are scheduled for surgery to remove the prostate and nearby lymph nodes.
- You are willing to sign a consent form to participate.
- You do not have severe claustrophobia or any medical condition that would prevent you from having an MRI.
- You do not have a pacemaker or other implant that makes MRI unsafe.
- Standard scans have not shown that the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.

This trial tests if a special PET scan (PSMA-PET) plus MRI is better than MRI alone at finding the full extent of high-risk prostate cancer before surgery. It aims to improve surgical planning by checking scan results against the removed prostate tissue.
This study tests whether a special scan (PSMA PET/MRI) combined with a standard MRI can better detect prostate cancer. It is for men who have not had a biopsy yet and are suspected of having prostate cancer.
This trial tests if a special scan called PSMA PET can help diagnose prostate cancer in men whose MRI results are not clear. It may help avoid unnecessary biopsies.
This study uses a special scan called PET/MR with a prostate-focused tracer to help doctors choose the best next treatment for prostate cancer. It may be most helpful if you are planning major treatment or if your cancer has come back after prior treatment.
This trial tests if a special PET scan using PSMA-1007 can find prostate cancer spread in men who have just been diagnosed with high-risk prostate cancer and plan to have surgery. The scan may help doctors better understand the cancer before removing the prostate and lymph nodes.
This trial compares two imaging techniques—PSMA PET/CT and MRI—to see which one better finds and outlines prostate cancer tumors. You'll receive both scans to help doctors understand which method works best for newly diagnosed prostate cancer.
